This is a painting I completed in February as part of my "Songbird Series". We have a plethora of goldfinches in our backyard, well-fed and noisy little things that swarm our thistle-seed bird feeders. They go through food so fast I believe our birds get more of our monthly food budget than our beloved Great Dane.

My husband has a thing for the birds. Thistle seed, wildflower seed for the songbirds, suet for the woodpeckers and squirrels. It's safe to say the critters in our backyard are well tended.

Here are a few close-ups of the birds:

I will be adding this painting to my art website soon. When I'm not so busy, like, I don't know, 2016.
